Lord of Scoundrels came to me highly recommended by several people from reading groups, now I see why. This is a five star novel! It grabbed a hold and did not let go until the very end. The passion between these two characters is very strong and there from the very beginning. Dain is dark and scary, so why is Jess so attracted to him? He will ruin her, yet she cannot stay away. She is the only one strong enough to tame Beelzebub! Never a dull moment!

This book has got to be one of the best reads I've had in a long time and I read a lot. It has everything I love in a Regency romance ~ intelligent kick-ass characters with flaws, a fast paced storyline, fiery emotions, sizzling passions, sweet calculated revenge, witty dialogue. The H/H are a perfect match in every way. I loved it.

Now this book I really loved. The heroine had brains, passion, and common sense. Heck the best part was when she shot him cause he was being a horse's arse. The hero was handsome and brooding, but I liked hearing his point of view and how he saw the heroine. This was a very good book and made me want to order more of Loretta Chase's books.

It took me years to work my way through my TBR pile to read this book and I can't help but wonder why I didn't just move the book up to the top so long ago. I am one of those people who have completely fallen for this book. The writing is wonderful. It flows so well. The characters are well written and ballance each other tremendously.
Lord Dain is the anti-hero hero if there ever was one. His disposition is terrible and you want to hate him so much. But you just can't. Understanding how he got to where he was makes the reader just want to hug the anger right out of him. Thankfully Jessica is just the woman to do that for him.
The interaction between Dain and Jess are like fireworks. They battle constantly and the battles between their wits are only surpassed by the explosive passion they have between them. One thing that I like most about this book is that it doesn't rely on the old misunderstanding type story line to create conflict. It uses just plain old great writing and excellent characters.
I see now why this particular book is one of the most recommended historical romances.

I loved this story. The heroine was calm,mature-minded,cool and collected- which is so refreshing to read in an historical romance. The hero was the one floundering internally with the love and trust issues- but, as mentioned before in these reviews, he was definitely alpha and as any woman knows, there's nothing worse than a cornered alpha! Good book!
